So this is one of the first orchids I added to my collection, excited for a rebloom. Second photo shows it at purchase. If you look carefully toward the bottom of the spike, you see there are 2-3 flowers with a more solid pattern, vs the splotchy pattern on the rest of the blooms. Didn't notice at purchase but thought it was cool 🤷🏼‍♀️

I split this plant after it finished blooming last year, realizing while repotting it seemed to naturally separate, so just split it in two. The first photo is "thing 1" of the original plant launching a spike, which I believe was shooting a spike on the more mature pseudobulb next to it. Third photo shows "thing 2" of the original plant in bloom a few months ago, but only with the more solid red/yellow pattern, none of the splotchy blooms. What I don't know is what the blooms will look like.

They live indoors at a breezy, south facing window in SoCal and seem pretty happy.

Anyone experience this before?
